Due to worries about copyright infringement, I will no longer e continuing "Tales of the Planes" I am looking at other articles that I think people would enjoy. Here Sre some ideas:
Deck Archtypes
Color Theories and aspects
Card protection and organization

Any other ideas are appreciated.

Prophylaxis

Why are you so worried about this?

Don't want to give Wizards more ammo to come back at us.

You aren't making money off posting here, so what's the problem?

Kuberr

It's called plagiarism.

Calling someone else's work your own.

That is illegal. Not that I really care, because jaces posts were cool. I think that's what he meant by being afraid.

Is he plagiarising?

Kuberr

Idk. Did he write the articles from his head? Or from a book/other source, and changed them a little?

I'm not sure. So not trying to be sarcastic.

I wrote them, but they follow the same storyline and I just don't want to get wizards riled up again.

Yes. I just changed the POV and cut certain parts. The writing is original, but the story isn't.

Kuberr

Okay. I see what you're saying.

That's what I thought.

Dont worry. I won't tell. I did enjoy the storyline. Maybe not the pov, but it was pretty bold. Which I liked.

Okay, look at this:

http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Magic_The_Gathering/

There are cadres of stories there that don't plagiarize at all - they chose a story or a setting on Magic and they aren't getting sued. Why should you?

Kuberr

I really didn't want to drag this out. But you want to. So I'm going to say it

As he said he just changed the pov and cut things out. Meaning he did, at one point, look at a story written by someone else. Then decided to change It around a bit.

Like I said. It's unlikely anything will happen, but wouldn't you rather write your own work, instead of just changing it around a little bit? I mean, anyone could do that.

I'm not trying to bash him at all. Just wanted to voice this.

I really liked your stories. It kinda upsets me that those idiots at wizards scares you that they could attack this amazing app agian. But I do understand. I'm sure what you write will be awesome.

You could put a "*" at the bottom of each article to look something like this.
